• RTS/XON/XOFF — RTS is asserted during transmissions. CTS is ignored. XON and 
XOFF gate transmissions.
• RTS On/CTS — RTS is always asserted. CTS gates transmissions.
RTS/CTS Scan Control — RTS is asserted during transmissions. CTS gates transmissions and 
controls enable and disable state of scanner

RS-232/USB COM Parameters
Intercharacter Delay
This parameter specifies the intercharacter delay between the end of one character and the 
beginning of the next. The delay can be set within a range of zero (0) to 990 milliseconds in 
10ms increments. A setting of zero specifies no delay.
To set the delay:
1. Determine the desired setting in milliseconds.
2. Divide the desired setting by 10 (setting is in 10ms increments). Pad the result with lead-
ing zeroes to yield two digits. For example: 0 = 00, 5 = 05, 20 = 20, etc.
3. Scan the ENTER/EXIT PROGRAMMING MODE barcode to enter Programming 
Mo
d
e.
4. Go to page 27 and scan the barcode: SELECT INTERCHARACTER DELAY SET-
TING.
5. Scan the appropriate two digits from the keypad in Appendix D, Keypad, that represent 
the duration which was determined in the steps above. You will hear a two-beep indica-
tion after the last character.
If you make a mistake before the last character, scan the CANCEL barcode to 
abort and not save the entry string. You can then start again at the beginning.
6. Scan the ENTER/EXIT PROGRAMMING MODE barcode to exit.
This completes the procedure. See Tabl e 24 for some examples of how to set this feature.
